Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Harry M. Sage, Jr., MD Leaves Gift to CMAF
Harry M. Sage, Jr., MD, a retired ophthalmologist, included a gift in his estate plans to benefit the health of the community through the CMA Foundation.
Dr. Sage, a longtime member of the Columbus Medical Association, passed away in 2008 and wanted to give back to the community he served and that had provided him with his livelihood.
He found that the best way to accomplish this was through the creation of a Charitable Remainder Trust – an estate planning vehicle that provided him with an income for life with the remainder at his death passing on to the Foundation.
Dr. Sage’s unrestricted gift to the Columbus Medical Association Foundation will give its board additional resources to focus on its health priorities which include:
1) Transforming clinical health care delivery to:
• Be patient centered
• Be based on a health/wellness paradigm
• Be based on clearly defined patient/clinician responsibility
• Be a partnership between patient/provider/payer
2) Supporting and improving health care safety net clinical services to uninsured and underinsured populations; saving and improving lives through a coordination of trauma and emergency health care resources
3) Advancing the capabilities of medical professionals and increasing the diversity of the health care workforce, especially within primary care, and
4) Advancing the leadership capacity of youth to engage in health philanthropy
Dr. Sage, who graduated in 1943 from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, practiced ophthalmology in the Columbus area for 48 years, retiring in 1991. He was an associate professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at OSU, he was on the staff at Riverside Methodist and University Hospitals and diplomate of the American Board Ophthalmology. He was an avid model railroading enthusiast and made frequent trips on an annual basis to regional and national conferences related to his hobby. He took great pride and pleasure in his re-creation and operation of the narrow gauge Denver and Rio Grande Western Charma Subdivision in his basement.
